Silver's POV "So, just like that, you aren't divorcing him?" Marco asks on the phone while I finish packing the little belongings that I bought to Rebecca's house. "He says spretty words, and all is forgiven?" "It's going to take stforto truly trust him," I admitted, biting my lower lip. "But yeah, I don't want us to be apart. I love him, Marco. I appreciate all you've done for me, but I'm tearing up the divorce documents." "Well, only you know what's best for you. I just hope this decision doesn't caround and bite you in the butt," he said, a warning tinging his words.
To be honest, I was hoping for the sthing.
"Thank you," I told him.
Without any other word, I hung up the phone and shoved it into my pocket. I hadn't even noticed Rebecca leaning against the doorfrwith her arms folded across her chest.
"Are you going to tellI'm making a mistake too?" I asked her, raising my brows.
Her brows furrowed.
"No, I would never say that. You can make your own decisions," she said shrugging. "I was just telling you that Gamma Erik is here and waiting for you." I nodded my thanks to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was the next morning since Elliot cand confessed his love for me; then we spent the entire night making love and holding one another in our arms. Elliot had sAlpha-related issues he had to address this morning and sent Erik over to givea ride back to the palace.
"But if he hurts you again, I'll chop his balls off," she adds, givinga sweet smile.
I laughed and hugged my best friend.
"I love you, Rebecca. Thank you for being here for me," I breathed.
"Where else would I be?" She replied, huggingback.
I pulled away from her and took a deep breath. I finished packing the last of my stuff and zipped my suitcase. Rebecca helpedbring my bags out of the apartment and as soon as we stepped outside, Gamma Erik ran out of the car.
"Sorry, Luna! I should have cup to help you," he said, grabbing the bags fromand Rebecca.
I raised my brows.
"You're back to callingLuna?" I asked teasingly. Over the months I've been living in the palace, married Elliot, Erik and I becfriends. I finally got him to callSilver instead of Luna, despite Elliot's protests. But now it seemed he was back to callingLuna. Erik looked a bit uncomfortable but he didn't say anything as he put my things in the trunk. I frowned at him, wondering what was wrong.
I turned to my friend and hugged her one last time.
"I'll call you," I assured her.
"You better," she toldin return. "What should I say to your father? That you returned to the Crown pack?" I shook my head, not wanting to deal with my father right now.
"Just tell him I left," I told her. "He'll figure it out for himself." She nodded and huggedtighter.
"I mean it... if he hurts you..." "I know," I said, blinking away tears.
I released her and turned back to Erik who had the back door of the car open and ready for me. He motioned forto get inside. I waved goodbye to Rebecca before sliding into the car. He got into the driver's seat and pulled away from Rebecca's apartment and away from my father's pack.
"Mariah is cooking a meal for your return. The Alpha is also returning hfrom work early today so he can spend the evening with you. think he mentioned something about going to the hospital and confronting Shirley on her lies," Erik told me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy chest tightened at his words.
"He wants to confront her?" I asked, dumbstruck.
"Yes, Luna," he answered. "It's not okay that she told you d you that she was his fated mate. It was a lie, and he doesn't take kindly to lying." "Erik, can I ask you a question?" I asked, peering at him through the small mirror above his head.
He glanced atin return before fixing his attention back on the road.
"Of course," he answered, a bit uncertainly.
"Why are you callingLuna suddenly?" I asked. "You've been callingSilver these last couple of weeks. Are we not friends anymore?"
He was quiet for a moment as he pondered that question; I could see the unease on his face even from the back se seat. He eventually took a deep breath and glanced atbriefly through the mirror. "Friends don't keep things from friends," he finally said, sounding defeated. "You left and you didn't tellyou were leaving, Luna. You
signed divorce papers without talking tofirst. If we were truly friends, of you would have toldof your plans I and the reasoning behind them. I would have told you the truth about Shirley and Alpha Ellio's relationship and it could have avoided all of this. So, no... I don't think we truly are friends." X
